:: in Room 17-010 with a stack of padds and in his hands, resting them down on the large table:: ::makes his way over to a side table with pots of various steaming stimulants and pastries and pours himself a cup of Stimcaf::

CAG_Maj_Sirk says:
::sitting patiently at the big conference table::

Ens_Payne says:
::enters room 17-010:: CO: Captain Daylan, I'm Admiral Bradley's aide. He won't be able to attend today, but I'll be sitting in for him, sir.

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Walks into Room 17-010 in Starfleet regs for once.::

CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Walking with her sister down the hall, quietly talks a bit about what had happened.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::enters the meeting room promptly on time. Maybe a little early::

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::arrives on level 17 on the starbase with Rhianna:: SO: I never was one for such meetings. ::can see 17-010 just ahead::

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Walks into Room 17-010.::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::turns and nods:: Payne: Thank you for coming. We have a bit to cover so it's good he was able to send a representative. Just take a seat wherever you'd like, Ensign.

CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::finally feeling the tiredness recede, as she talks with Eris on the way to the conference room::

Ens_Payne says:
CO: Thank you, sir. ::takes a seat at the foot of the table::

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Takes a seat and places a few PADDS on the table in front of him.::

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::fighting an unusual tiredness from lack of sleep, tries not to yawn::  CTO: It is required...so we go.  I am glad it is on the starbase and away from the ship right now.  I need rest.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::takes a seat after fixing himself some coffee::

CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Lightly touches her sister on the shoulder just outside of the conference room, bringing her to a pause.::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::takes a seat at the table:: All: Thank you for coming. Please get yourself a cup of something hot and take a seat.

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::rubs his eyes:: SO: I turned out to be the opposite...I think I overslept, much to my personal shock. ::stops at the door and lets Rhianna enter first::

CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::stops before the door::

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::looks around the table for an empty seat and walks over and sits down.::

Ens_Payne says:
::sits primly, not taking any coffee, but taking out a PADD and giving his full attention to Captain Daylan::

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::catches the CMO's glance, and nods to her::

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::Takes a sip of hot tea and then places the cup down in front of her.::

CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Leans over and lightly kisses her.::  CMO:  Jacuzzi after this meeting.

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::looks surprised at her Andorian::  CTO:  That is most unusual.  ::lowers her voice::  Which seat?

CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::nods back at Lt .Kizlev, unable to stiffle a chuckle that means a definite "yes" to her sister's suggestion::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::takes a sip of stimcaf and waits for the stragglers to have a seat::

CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Enters the room and takes a seat.::

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::gestures to a pair of chairs on the starboard side of the table::

CAG_Maj_Sirk says:
::can't help but watch Eos enter the room::

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::notices the Chief Science officer as they come around the table and gives her a nod, lightly 'touching' her::  CTO:  Yes, that is fine.

Host Adm_Bradley says:
::sits in his office going over reports from Claymore's crew::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::drums his fingers on the table, musing::

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::watches as the last of the officers come in and find seats.::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::takes another sip from the cup and then stands:: All: Are we all here then? Good. Let's call this meeting to order.

CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::takes her seat and lifts her eyes from the table to see Jamie, a number of conflicting emotions take hold of her as she averts her eyes to Atlas:: Self: Jacuzzi.

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::takes his seat after Rhianna, exchanging glances at the other officers, and regards the captain with a polite nod of his head and antennae:: SO: I had a very profound dream last night as well...::lowers his voice:: ...but that can wait later.

CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Returns Jakiel's greeting and looks over at her brother.::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
All: First of all I want to offer my condolences to all of you, for the great officers and crewmen you all lost in your departments. Every one of them was a valuable part of Claymore. We'll have an appropriate time to remember them, but for now we have to focus on the rebuilding. If anyone wants to share their thoughts before we get about the actual business, now's the time.

Ens_Payne says:
CO: Captain, if I may?

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Makes a jesture with his hand to be acknowledged.::

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::watches the interactions between the Captain and his sisters and the unusual mix of emotions going on.  Nods to Kizlev briefly, her curiosity showing in her eyes, then turns her full attention on Captain Daylan::

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::was about to inquire, but gazes at the ensign who seized the initiative::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::nods:: Payne: Of course. ::looks around the table:: This is Ensign Payne, he's from Admiral Bradley's office.

CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::nods at Ensign Payne::

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::waits to see what the Ensign has to say.::

Ens_Payne says:
ALL: Admiral Bradley has instructed me to tell you that all the resources of Starbase 360 are at your disposal... within reason. We cannot work miracles, and most of the crew we can give will be below standards or from ships whose captains will be glad to see the back of them. But please, let us know what we can do for you. ::Sits back down::

CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Pulls out a padd from her pocket and opens up one of the last group of reports she had to go through.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Are you saying we're getting the dregs of Starfleet? My department was hit pretty hard. 

Host Adm_Bradley says:
::takes a break from all the reports to swivel in his chair and look out his bay window only to see Claymore in her berth, then shakes his head slowly and returns to the reports::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::frowns:: Payne: Well we'll restrict those to the very lowest departmental positions:: CEO/All: Make a note of that. We'll stay in dock here as long as possible to get the best crew available. At least on the operational and adminsitrative levels.

CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: As what the ensign just said sinks in she looks up with a frown.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::disgruntled:: Hmmph.

CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Looks over at her sister.::

CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::meets Eris' eyes from her PADD, where she's burying her attention so as to not look across the table::

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
Self: Great, substandard crew mixed in with crewmen hanging on by a thread.  Only Starfleet.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::sits back and folds his arms, gazing down at the table, not surprised that Starfleet cannot spare better personnel...after all, the Academy can only turn out so many good officers each year::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::shakes his head:: All: It can't be helped. Any other thoughts before we get down to business?

Ens_Payne says:
::nods back at the CO::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::contemplates having a beer::

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Raises his hand.::

CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: With irony::  CO: Jump ship?

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::raises an eyebrow and doesn't like the comment on the crew replacements.::

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::snickers.::

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::frowns at the CSO's ill-placed joke::

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::takes a second look at the PADD containing materials needed, upgrades needed and wished for.  Sets herself to be ready to help the new crew members as she senses the frustration of the older crew members that newbies will be coming on::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::manages a small smile:: CSO: Now would be the time for it. But no.

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CO: Captain I have a quick comment.

CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Leans forward::  CO: I really am not willing to work with substandard officers.  They should not even be in the fleet if what is being said is true.

CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
CO: We have to be able to depend upon each others with our lives, how will we be able to do that if we do not trust who is coming to us?

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CSO: Unfortunately, properly training enlistees and midshipmen has been a lower priority in Starfleet since the post-Dominion War reconstruction.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::sarcastic:: CO: Okay if I have the new guys recalibrate the anit-matter/matter intermix?

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::steeples his fingers on the table and nods:: CSO: We have to do the best with what we have. We'll choose the best of what's available and put into place extensive training regimens to make sure they're up to par. If they're not, we'll scrub them.

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::smiles at Woody and shakes his head before turning his attention back to Renor:: CNS: Counselor?

CAG_Maj_Sirk says:
::grunts his distaste at the tone this meeting has taken::

Ens_Payne says:
::arches an eyebrow at the CSO:: CSO: That's rather arrogant don't you think, sir? SB 360 and Admiral Bradly will do their best... but not everyone in Starfleet is exceptional, and its folly to believe otherwise...Sir.

CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Throws a look at her twin.::

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Stands.::  All: I would like to open an invitation to all senior staff.  Commander T'Shara is holding a meditation session in holodeck one starting at 0700 each day.  This will give everyone a time to heal from the past events.

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::listens to the dialogue going on, keeping her opinion for now, but wondering what her superior thinks of her as a relative 'newbie'::

CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
Ens: If that is true, then don't undermine them or give us preconcieved notions concerning them!

CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::still thinking about that beer at the mention of meditation::

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CNS: Counselor, may I add to that?

Ens_Payne says:
CSO: I did nothing to undermine them, and I was honest up front about them, sir. It would be irresponsible of me to do otherwise.

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CTO: Of couse, Lieutenant.

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Takes his seat.::

CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::wonders when, how, why did this all happen...:: Payne: Perhaps you meant we should give some attention to the transition of these officers and crew to the new post?

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::lets them speak their minds for now, determined to put a stop to it if it gets out of hand::

Ens_Payne says:
::Pauses for a moment:: CMO: ... If it were me, Lieutenant... I'd keep an eye on them and drill them extensively. Some just need a second chance... some you'll throw in the brig and never want to let them out.

CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
Ens:  I quote ' most of the crew will be below standards or from ships their captains would be glad to see the backs of them' or something close to that.

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CNS/ALL: If it is possible, I am willing to work out a schedule with the Commander on alternating meditation with sessions of Kenjutsu excercises and standard combat training every day to whomever wishes it.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
Payne: My department doesn't really have time to train anyone. We need engineers that are seasoned.

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
CTO: That sounds like a good idea. CNS: Do you think that would be a good... channel, for the frustrations we're all feeling? ::folds his arms::

CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Trying not to be rude, but has no desire for any meditation beyond a jacuzzi.::

CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::wonders why she'd trust the lives that are her responsibility to people that would be best in the brig... although she was locked in quarters long enough recently herself... what a dilemma::

CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Lightly snorts at her brothers comment on frustration.::

CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
Payne: I agree with Commander Hayward. The ship can't be neglected nor the health of the surviving Claymore crew.

Ens_Payne says:
CEO: I understand, sir. And we'll give you the new recruits with the highest test scores... as well as the best we can give, but I can't strip every experienced engineer on SB 360.

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CO/CTO:  I think for some of the crew that would be fine.  I do have some patients with anger issues that are from lost friends and/or family.  I would like those patients not to attend until there issues are better diagnosed.

CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
Payne: I'll keep that in mind. ::really annoyed::

Ens_Payne says:
::Sighs and sits back wishing he could do more::

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
All: I would be willing to work out a alternating schedule with you Lieutenant on that.

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
CNS: All right. Renor please provide Lieutenant Hy'Qiin with the list of those that shouldn't be a part for that. We'll follow whatever recommendations you have for those. All: I won't make attendance to Commander T'Shara's meditation sessions or Lieutenant Hy'Qiin's training sessions mandatory, but I strongly encourage them.

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CNS: I understand. I am not choosy about which students I take into my classes, but I will consult you regarding any who do intend on participating.

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CO/CTO:  Otherwise with the progress we are seeing from the meditation I can only see the additional training helping.

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::regards Payne with some sympathy as the bearer of bad news is often blamed::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::holds his hands up to quiet them down a bit::

Ens_Payne says:
::gives his attention back to the CO::

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::returns his attention to the captain, who appears to be shouldering his command burdens remarkably well...at least on the outside::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::waits, irritable::

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::notices the Captain's hand motion and waits.::  Self:  I wonder when I will be seeing him in the meditation sessions.

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::sits back down:: All: I understand all of your concerns and I want to reiterate that we will have to get help where possible but from that pool we'll pick the best available. You'll just have to provide them extra training as I said. However your requests for replacements will be forwarded to Command and we'll poach whomever we can get as well.

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::rubs her head, the negative emotions 'seeping' in more than she would like from the tiredness she's feeling::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
All: Despite the incredibly unfortunate circumstances, we do have an opportunity here to look at each of our departments and rebuild them as strong as possible. Give a lot of thought to the missions we've been seeing and anything you've wanted to correct in the operations of your departments when you send in those requests.

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
CO:  Captain?

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::nods to Day, and turns to gaze upon Rhianna, who indeed has shouldered more burdens than she needed to lately::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::shifts to the young science offier:: SO: Yes, Rhianna?

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
All: Extra training sessions in each of the new crew member's specialties can be accessed via holodecks.  I know it would be extra work, but it would mostly be for the new crew members.  The senior members could program in mock test situations to stimulate study as well and to observe their new team members' reactions to see where work is needed.

Ens_Payne says:
::Pipes up:: SO/CO: It could also give you a chance to cross train specialties of some of your command crew, sir.

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::his antennae flex upright, thinking how particularly industrious Rhianna's suggestion might be::

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
Payne: Yessir, it could.

CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::feels tired again at the idea of continuing the long working hours she adopted when the only way to get out of her quarters was to work. Focuses on the jacuzzi::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
SO: It would provide a chance for you all to assess prospective recruits before they formally join our ranks. Is this doable? ::looks around the table:: They don't even need to be on the ship to do it. These... reviews can be done here on the station.

Ens_Payne says:
CO: We could provide you unlimited access to the Holodecks and suites on Decks 34 and 35, if you wish, sir.

CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Unobtrusively, lightly touches her sister, passing the thought soon to her.::

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CO: I think it is very doable, sir. Each department being responsible for their recruitment purposes, and passing the final say to you.

CAG_Maj_Sirk says:
CO: Doesn't really help me, Starfighter Command already requires logged time in the simulator.  Still, I'll take what they give me and wash out the trash.

CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Given the headache and work all of what is being said entails, she would rather have a much smaller staff then a standard one.::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
Payne: Thank you, Ensign Payne. We'll take you up on that. ::looks back to his officers::

Ens_Payne says:
::sits down and stays quiet::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::turns to the Vulcan operations officer:: OPS: Commander, do you think you can facilitate this testing regimen? Scheduling and so forth?

CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Mentally considers what she can get away with in officers to what she has and their abilities.::

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::turns to the major:: CAG: I'd be willing to extend my interviews to cover those with past aviation experience. We might find a few naturals in the process.

CAG_Maj_Sirk says:
::shakes his head:: CTO: We've got regs for our pilots, can't just walk off the nearest Starfleet ship.  Even if you do find these naturals, they'll still have months of training to become qualified.

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
CAG: And I've also been in contact with the captain of our sister ship. USS Dirk is in the area. Captain MacTaggart didn't like it, but he's willing to release a squadron for Claymore's use since they're putting in for refitting.

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO:  It will take some time to setup sir given we will have to come up with the appropriate procedures/circumstances for testing for each department and make sure the results are sent to the right department heads.

CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::joins in:: CTO/CAG: Same with medical personnel. There's some levels at which the department can function with "naturals" but the more complex the duty, the more qualified the crewmember. I won't bypass that.

CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: After a moment, pulls out another padd and makes some changes on her requests as well as notes on training and rescheduling.::

CAG_Maj_Sirk says:
CTO: I'll take what I can get, Lieutenant.  ::quickly winks at Eos::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
OPS: Take whatever resources you need and inform the other department heads. The testing should be fairly automated.  I'll review their pesonnel recommendations at the end of the testing cycle.

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
ALL:  I can help any who need to program the holodecks.

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::nods in understanding to the major and doctor, but figures that sometimes beggers cannot be choosers::

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: Aye sir will get on it as soon as I can.

CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::smiles back at Jamie, then looks at Kizlev:: CTO: You'll thank me next time you're admitted in my sickbay, lieutenant.

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
All: I need your attention for a few minutes, everyone. ::raises his voice slightly over the chatter::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::has visions of beer, and shots....whiskey::

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::grins:: CMO: I already have, and will, trust me.

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::puts her whole attention on Daylan and tries hard to concentrate::

CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::returns her attention to her brother::

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::focuses back on Day::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::takes a breath:: All: I think we've found a suitable solution to the immediate problem of filling the ranks. We'll choose the best based on their personnel files and test them and only accept the best out of those but we do need bodies if that ship is going to operate at all. I've put in urgent reports to Command, our task force commander and Fleet Command. We'll get as many of the best replacements as possible. For the rest we'll have to train them up. Commander T'Shara will be in contact with you to arrange that training.

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::nods at the Captain's comment::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
Once the ship is back in operation, we'll also be conducting more inter-departmental training. Like it or not, several key areas were hit in the plague and it left the ship dangerously underfacilitated. I intend to create more inter-department training and problem-solving opportunities. Since we're officially on leave at the end of this session,

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
I would like is to unofficially work on our own part of this equation. The crew looks up to us. They can't find confidence in us if we have none in each other. We're practically strangers. We have an opportunity to work on that. It improves ship efficacy - but more important it makes life out there a lot more manageable when we know each other well.

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
There will be a small memorial service here on the station for our fallen shipmates tomorrow night. I'd like you all to attend if you can and if you feel you're up to it. Until then, enjoy your leave.

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::stands:: All: Meeting adjourned.

Ens_Payne says:
::stands and waits for the crew to depart, going last::

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::feels that a starship crew is more than just a mere collective of professionals, but a kind of family that goes one step beyond the typical meaning of the word::

CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::exits, wondering where the nearest bar is::

CAG_Maj_Sirk says:
::stands up and meets Eos' eyes, gesturing with his head toward the door::

Ens_Payne says:
CO: Sir, Rest assured we'll do our best... I only wish it could be better.

CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Shakes her head at Sirk and grabs her sisters hand, heading for the jucazzi::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::watches them file out, secretly thanking the Prophets that they all survived::

OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::stands and prepares to leave the room behind several others.::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::nods in thanks at Payne::

CAG_Maj_Sirk says:
::bites his tongue and heads out as well::

SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::as they walk out of the meeting room, leans on Kizlev and whispers::  CTO:  I want to sleep on the station during shore leave...  I want to sleep now...

Ens_Payne says:
::leaves and heads back to report to his Admiral::

CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::stands up, watching Jamie leave the room, at a complete loss:: Eris: I did not expect that.

CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::stands up, helping Rhianna to her feet:: SO: Agreed. It's time for you to get some rest, lieutenant.

CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Heading for the gym::  CMO: Hmmm...

CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::tries to remember when is the last time he talked to her at all, as she lets Eris take her wherever it was they were going::

CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Stands from the table and leaves the room.::

Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::lets his shoulders slump, for the first time showing the exhaustion he's feeling:: Self: I need some sleep.
